Zhao Luo had three of his fingers opened up as he started telling them the three reasons behind the formation of these four groups. The truth was, these reasons were just speculations made by the inner disciples who had been in the groups for more than a year.

"The four seniors had actually made a single group initially to gather the students who weren't related to the Royal families. The group was quite popular after it was formed three years ago since the name was also quite catchy. They used to call it, The Camaraderie.

"

Zhao Luo said to them since the members of the royal families already had many subordinates so it was hard to face them without getting pressured by their numbers.

"So, that was the first reason which alternately gave birth to the four groups later on.

"

Zhao Luo closed his index finger leaving his middle and ring fingers open.

"But why did they go their separate ways?

"

Pi Hao asked Zhao Luo since there must be something that had caused them to drift apart..

"That is because of the second reason. All four of them want to win over the other thus their first group fell apart and now the third reason is connected to the group's names.

"

Zhao Luo said to them as he closed his index finger since only the last reason was left, thus he kept his middle finger opened right in front of them.

No one minded that since the discussion was quite serious but the inner disciples passing them would laugh at Zhao Luo and the others since to them it seemed pretty inappropriate and funny.

"The group names are indeed weird.

"

"Maybe they fought against each other since they couldn't help but make fun of the names they had come up with.

"

Si Chen and Feng Ma guessed the third reason which seemed fairly true but Zhao Luo shook his head.

"That did happen. But that wasn't the third reason.

"

Zhao Luo said with an excited voice.

"There are many 'internal energy cultivation manuals' in the inner hall that we can learn but the four most famous are, The Deep Sea Manual, The Forst Tortoise Manual, The Burning Phoenix Manual, and The Flying Horse Manual.

"

Zhao Luo told them the names of the four famous manuals which were exactly the same as the names of the groups. He finally closed his middle finger too which allowed the other to let out a long-lasting sigh of relief.

Zhao Luo still continued since there was still more to know about the inner hall than just the groups and their leaders.

"The first group was popular so many disciples had joined them but now joining one of the groups has become a norm.

"

It was indeed so, that is also the reason behind Chi Balue's fame and the reason why his group had the most inner disciples in it.

"Though, there are still many disciples who are not in any of the group, like the strongest inner disciple, Senior Sang, and the members of the Royal Families.

"

Zhao Luo looked at Feng Ma since he would know better about that than him.

'Nod.'

Fend Ma nodded at Zhao Luo's words and Zhao Luo continued.

'So he doesn't want to talk about it.'

"Since we still have a day to make our decision, let's learn about the four internal energy cultivation manuals and also the other manuals too.

"

Zhao Luo told them before turning around and everyone also looked ready to move to the next zone of the inner hall.

Till now they had only been in the test zone and the entrance zone.

"What's the next zone?

"

Zhao Luo questioned since, unlike the outer hall's zones which were separated right at the entrance zone and were distinguishable by their color, there was no such thing in the inner hall.

It was simply door to door if someone wanted to move to the other zone of the inner hall.

"I don't know.

"

Si Chen answered since he had no idea neither had he asked anyone.

The others also shook their head as they all were like Zhao Luo, unaware of the zone that was right behind the door.

"Well, we will know once we pass it.

"

Zhao Luo turned towards the only door that was at this end as he told the others.

The seven moved towards the door and they weren't the only ones there. There were many inner disciples who were going to the next zone but most of them were not new here.

The other disciples who had entered the inner hall along with them had already joined a group just like Mo Anna and Mo Suo and weren't in the entrance zone either.

Without waiting any further, Zhao Luo stepped in towards the door whose dark space seemed like a portal to some demonic dimension.

"Let's go.

"

Zhao Luo said to them before walking in the door.

'Whoosh.'

The next instant, the seven stumbled as they had appeared in a new place inside the inner hall.

"Is this th-

"

"So you are here, Brother Zhao Luo.

"

A hoarse and heavy voice reached them which had cut off Zhao Luo's amazement into pieces.

"No way.

"

Zhao Luo looked at the disciple who was talking to them and took large steps towards him.

"Brother Sang.

"

Zhao Luo mumbled as he stood face to face with the person who had promised to serve him with all his heart.

The progeny of Takuma, Brother Sang.

The owner of the biggest merchant group of the Xin Range, the Sang-Sang merchants.

"You are quite famous here, Brother Sang.

"

Zhao Luo said with a teasing tone since the two shared a relation that surpassed time itself.

Zhao Luo was someone who belonged to his great grandfather's generation.

"Hahahaha. That wouldn't last long since you are here.

"

Brother Sang couldn't help but laugh his heart out after seeing Zhao Luo here.

Zhao Luo and Brother Sand smiled as they talked to each other while the others had stupefied looks on their faces.

They all slowly and politely approached Zhao Luo and glanced at Brother Sang.

"He is really a level eight.

"

Senior Cutie mumbled while the others shared the same surprised sentiments.

"Just what is Zhao Luo's identity that even the Senior hailed as the strongest inner disciple is showing respect to him?

"

Xiao Yu questioned himself but others also nodded since even Feng Ma knew about Brother Sang but he couldn't say the opposite.

"There are very few juniors who are known by Senior Sang.

"

Si Chen suddenly told the others as his head was tilted at a perfect angle as he showed a prideful look to them.

"Only the extremely talented juniors are known by him. Juniors who are unmatched.

"

Since it was clear that Senior Sang knew of Zhao Luo who was indeed unmatched by his peers so they didn't doubt Si Chen's words.

"Does he know about me too?

"

Senior Cutie asked Si Chen since it seemed like he knew the answer.

"Senior Cutie, I don't know about that. But I know the other junior that Senior Sang knows about.

"

Senior Cutie looked disappointed for a moment but still had hope that such an amazing Senior may know about him.

'Just who is this junior?'

All of them thought about it since they all had a chance to be that junior and they may just be treated like Zhao Luo if that was the case.

But only Si Chen knew who it was as he moved towards Senior Sang.

"Brother Sang.

"

Si Chen bowed his head as he moved forward.

"Oh, Si Chen you are here too.

"

Brother Sang laughed as he grabbed his shoulder right in front of everyone's eyes.

Si Chen was surprised by Brother Sang's reaction but he also felt glad that he still remembered him.

Si Chen looked around and smiled at the envious gazes o others especially Feng Ma who was already taking out his wine flask.

Zhao Luo was smiling since only he knew why Brother Sang was overacting and soon Si Chen also found about the reason behind the reason why Brother Sang had grabbed his shoulders.

Brother Sang moved closer to Si Chen.

"So Brother Zhao Luo was your cousin.

"

Even though Brother Sang already knew the truth since their first meeting he still teased Si Chen about it before leaving him in a state of shock before letting him go.

"Hahaha, so these are you brothers.

"

Brother Sang looked at Senior Cutie seriously. Then his eyes moved to Xiao Yu, Feng Ma, Pi Hao, and finally landed on Big Bean.

"He looks like a big bean.

"

Everyone stumbled as Brother Sang commented on Big Bean.

"Senior Sang.

"

All of them greeted Brother Sang but heard him sighing.

"Call me Brother Sang. Since you all are Zhao Luo's brothers.

"

Brother Sang told them while calling Zhao Luo without any title.

This was what the two had decided before Si Chen came up to Brother Sang so Zhao Luo doesn't get the attention of others.

"So what is this zone?

"

While the others looked excited, Zhao Luo questioned Brother Sang while looking around the place they were in.
